Harrison Township residents are proud of their clean river and streams, clean air and abundant open and green spaces.

Although, Harrison Township is situated in a country setting, its strategic location within the metropolitan area makes it an ideal place to live and businesses to thrive and grow.

Harrison Township is the northwestern gateway to the Cincinnati Metropolitan area as well as the urban center of a still rural four county area. Located on I-74 with close access to I-275 and the Ronald Reagan (Cross County) Highway, there is easy access to the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport and other parts of the county and States of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

Harrison Township presents a special case of being an unincorporated area within an urban center, the City of Harrison.
